Fifty pounds of frozen sockeye salmon arrived at the Kenai Senior Center on Wednesday afternoon, the first shipment of what will be 300 pounds of salmon donated to the center\u2019s senior meals program by the commercial fishing trade organization Alaska Salmon Alliance.<\/p>\n

Senior center director Rachael Craig said the salmon will be served once a month during the Senior Center\u2019s Wednesday lunches, which are open to the public, and also fed to home-bound seniors enrolled in the center\u2019s meal delivery program.<\/p>\n

Craig said the salmon meal was originally suggested by Kenai senior Howard Hill, who after seeking a source of local donated salmon secured the donation from the Alaska Salmon Alliance. She said that salmon has nutritional benefits, particularly for seniors, for whom it supplies anti-oxidants, proteins, and oils.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome people say it helps brain-power,\u201d Craid said, of salmon. \u201cBut it helps your skin and provides the oils for your body, for your joints.\u201d<\/p>\n

Senior Center cook Melissa \u201cMissy\u201d Bailey agreed that the salmon would be nutritious.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s lean, good in protein,\u201d Bailey said. \u201cGosh darn pretty much no hormones, no antibiotics, that sort of thing. Right out of Cook Inlet.\u201d<\/p>\n

After opening the box of frozen salmon, Bailey said she was happy to find it already filleted and pin-boned, which she hadn\u2019t been expecting. She had planned to fillet and bone the salmon herself.<\/p>\n

Salmon Alliance executive director Arne Thomson said the donation was fitting, given the senior center\u2019s location.<\/p>\n

\u201cHere we are on the Kenai River,\u201d Thomson said. \u201cYou\u2019ve got major seafood processing plants right here in Kenai. And we think we should be making good, high-quality sockeye salmon available to our senior citizens.\u201d<\/p>\n
